#buffalo Soldier- How the mainstream create fascist soldiers
A number of questions arise in the wake of increasing far-right terrorist attacks. The obvious, like how he can legally obtain a gun and without mental health checks?
The link between, Norway, New Zealand and US shootings is a fascist, White Supremacist ideology/meme, that is being aped in more ‘moderate’ Conservative circles. That is ‘The Grand Replacement Theory’. The belief that White Europeans are being replaced by non-whites and therefore, ‘our way of life’ is under attack along with Christianity(despite the vast majority of Black populations in the US/EU being Christian). Under this warped theory, white people are facing an existential crisis and so need to unify and oppose any ‘Liberal’ or ‘Woke’ ‘collaboration with the enemy’- meaning non-white immigrants and Liberal/Woke/Left wing ideologies, policies or activists.
The above, is of course classic fascism, not ‘concern about immigration’ but ultra Nationalist ‘purity’, Supremacy of people from European decent. However, as said before, the memes, the language of this neo-nazi belief system is mimicked in mainstream newspapers(Daily Mail, Express, Telegraph, The Sun, The Star….) by shock jocks in the US(now exported to UK), Fox News, GM news….
‘Chickens come home to roost’, the cocktail of a fascist theory being spread by mainstream media and politicians, while they also point the finger at BLM, Marxists, Liberals- AND the vulnerability of mentally ill people to being groomed by extremist ideology, eventually leads to the inevitable. Our media, politicians and social media have amplified fascist ideology. Some mentally ill and people passionately angry with their lack of opportunity and poverty, are attracted to simplistic solutions to complex problems, are actively targetted by fascist groups.
So further questions arise. The knee-jerk reaction is to attempt to restrict peoples, or media’s, rights to free-speech. That often is counter productive, creates more problems and becomes unethical or illiberal. Given they are propagating a fascist philosophy that leads to violence and hate crime, maybe media outlets should be mandated to define ‘Fascism’ ‘Neo-Nazism’ or ‘White Supremacy’ whenever they discuss issues around immigration or race.
N.B: Just for a minute, take a second look at what these fascist shooters say in their ‘manifesto’s’. Can you see the complete absurdity of the Statements they make, like alleged in this case, that the ‘US should be rid of everyone who is not European’. The irony, that America’s indigenous people were not Europeans, but Native Americans and later Mexicans. In Europe itself, the first settlers were Africans in the great migration out of Africa by early humans. Then millennia later, migrations into Europe came from the Middle-East and Asia.
